Will Smith

Please allow me to make a prediction.

Will Smith’s career is finished.

He cheapened Hollywood, and its leaders will not allow cheap words of apology to speak louder than actions.

He may have a few projects in post production, but Hollywood executives will wrap those up as quickly as possible in order to get their money back.

As far as new projects are concerned, forget it. There are plenty of other stars who can make Hollywood money.

Chris Rock was the movie industry’s representative on that stage.

When Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, he slapped all the executives, investors and workers in the industry.

They won’t take kindly to that, and they won’t accept meaningless words as compensation.

This was a night when Hollywood desires to put its best foot forward.

It’s supposed to be a fun night, a festive night, a positive night.

Will Smith put his own selfish interest above that of every single member of the entertainment industry.

He could not have cared less about the other people in the room.

He ruined their night.

He disrespected them.

Moreover, he cheapened each and everyone of them.

It’s a credit to Chris Rock that he didn’t respond in kind. He put the industry and the members of the industry above his own personal feelings.

Will Smith has his Oscar, and it is now time to say goodbye.

Will Smith’s career is finished.

Sincerely,

Archer Crosley
